Terms of Service

You must be at least 13 years old to use Vihaya. If you are between 13 and 18, you must have permission from a parent or guardian, and they must agree to these Terms on your behalf. Vihaya is not intended for children under 13.

Vihaya is a free study-companion app for engineering and school students. It offers:

• Subject-wise notes and previous-year question papers (PYQs)
• Developer tools: code compiler, unit/base converters, graph plotter, scientific calculator
• Bookmarks, offline saved material, XP / level progression

Vihaya does not charge users for these features. The app is supported by ads.

• Provide accurate sign-up details. Keep them up to date.
• You are responsible for activity that happens under your account. Keep your password safe.
• If you sign in through Google and also create an email/password account with the same address, those may be treated as separate accounts — contact us if you need them merged.
• Tell us at vihaya.app@gmail.com if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

When using Vihaya you agree NOT to:

• Break any applicable Indian or international law
• Upload content that is harmful, hateful, sexually explicit, or harassing toward others
• Try to bypass our security, scrape data, or use bots / automation
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the app
• Impersonate another student or institution
• Use Vihaya to sell or promote anything commercial without our written permission

Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Vihaya has no tolerance for objectionable, illegal, or abusive content or behaviour. Every piece of user-generated content (uploaded notes and PYQs, marketplace listings, reviews, and profiles) can be reported from within the app, and you can block any user so you no longer see their content. We review reports and will remove violating content and suspend or remove the responsible users — typically within 24 hours of a report.

We may remove content or disable accounts that violate these rules.

Vihaya lets students upload notes and previous-year questions to help others in the same subject. When you upload content:

• You confirm you have the right to share it (it is your own work, public-domain, or appropriately licensed).
• You grant other Vihaya users a non-exclusive right to view and save it for personal study.
• You grant us a license to host, display, distribute within the app, and create thumbnails for it — only as needed to run Vihaya.
• You can delete content you uploaded at any time (it stays available to users who already saved it offline).

Copyright complaints

If material on Vihaya infringes your copyright, email vihaya.app@gmail.com with the specific link, your contact details, and a statement that you are the rights-holder or authorized to act on their behalf. We will review and remove material within a reasonable time.

Notes, PYQs, and other study material on Vihaya are shared to help you revise. They can be incomplete, out-of-date, or contain errors. Treat them as a starting point, not authoritative. Always verify with your textbook, instructor, or qualified professional before relying on them for exams.

Vihaya shows ads served by Google AdMob. Tapping an ad takes you to the advertiser's content; we don't control or endorse it. See our Privacy Policy for details on how ad-related data is handled.

We aim for Vihaya to be available 24/7, but we may need to perform maintenance, push updates, or temporarily disable features. We may also add, modify, or remove features over time.

• You can stop using Vihaya at any time and request account deletion via vihaya.app@gmail.com.
• We may suspend or close accounts that violate these Terms.
• On account deletion we follow the retention rules described in the Privacy Policy.

Vihaya is provided “as is.” We do not promise it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or fit for any particular purpose. Study material accuracy is the responsibility of the user who uploaded it; verify before relying on it for exams.

To the maximum extent allowed by Indian law, Vihaya is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — including lost marks, lost data, or missed deadlines — that arise from your use of the app. Since Vihaya is free to use, no refund is owed.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Kerala, India.

We may update these Terms when the app changes or laws change. The “Last Updated” date below always reflects the current version. Material changes will be flagged in-app on your next launch.
